when i first met ya i hoped i could getcha
i said to myself , she is one of the good ones
wouldn't have guessed what i'd be willing to do
but i'd do anything to hold on to you

if you'll be here with me
and tell me anything that your'e thinking of
as long as you're next to me
i don't care bout anything except love
who cares about anything except love.

don't wanna imagine always being alone
it's way too depressing, kinda like being homeless
no matter where, I would follow you far
greatest place ever is wherever you are

it's not just one life its all tied up in 5
i'm more than happy to to just shut up and drive
don't stay away from me another minute
don't wanna wake up or go to bed if you're not in it
i can't ignore my good luck anymore

oh yeah
did your mom yell at you for making too much noise in the garage? what a great, honest rock and roll sound. great snotty vocals and dopey lyrics - love SHOULD be dopey and ecstatic, and that follows for love songs. DL'd.

If You'll Be Here
OOH - this is great!!! i'm cracking up at tempie's comment - it does sound like a song you'd get in trouble for rattling the house with when mom comes home. i love the energy, i LOVE scott's fabulous drums (that's 2 this morning scott!!) and this is a complete kick in the pant! where did that photo come from??? LOL! great job you guys, on my second listen and can't sit still - happy holidays to both of you fine gents!

Congratulations
Comes right out of the gate and just keeps powering on. Catchy hook chorus. Like the vocals! Like the lead break as well. Scott has been a busy boy too. Congratulations to all concerned. Take care, Peter.

thanks
i've been using the "loudness maximizer" on Ozone to try and compensate for Garageband's sometimes quiet output... hopefully it's not overdone on this one, I think it can be a bit grating if overused...
anyway glad you liked it, as a powerpop aficionado I like the bands you mentioned, although I never really got into cheap trick... they're going to take away my power pop membership card for admitting that!

I did have to review the old mental storehouse before posting, to make sure the melody wasn't a complete rip from Andy Partridge (or Rivers Cuomo or Bob Mould for that matter!)
Glad you liked enough to dl! thanks for listening...

Silly Little Love Songs
I say it all the time, but you are a one-man Fountains of Wayne. Not in a "this sounds like their songs..." way. It's the meticulous attention to popcraft. It's sappy love songs, but your friends are cool with it because the guitars are loud and dirty. Perfect.

I don't care
About anything but love. Relic, you took the words right out of my mouth. I feel exactly the same way. Thanks for posting this. Pure pop appeal, honest, energetic drumming....man...what were YOU thinking about? I have to meet this girl, guys.

Terrific
lyrics: "Don't wanna wake up or go to bed if you're not in it" I don't think they're dopey but accessible...how's that? A love song that grabs the beloved's attention and smacks her with a couple of love pats. Thanks.
